What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

Summer Workshops And Classes For Kids 2017

The kids’ school year has ended, and as a mom, I don’t want my kids to get bored from the heat of summer. I want them to explore more of their selves and have a self-discovery of great things that they can do. I can see my kids’ potential in sports, academics, talents, and other extracurricular activities. I know where each one of them excels best. Having five children isn’t a problem until each of them got different interests. It wouldn’t be a huge problem at all unless I got to enroll them into Summer Workshops And Classes For Kids because of each others’ differences.

Fortunately, my eldest and second have the same interest- they are both into sports, but I am planning to take them on a programming workshop and see if their dad’s blood runs on them. My third child is easier to get influenced by their big brothers unless he insisted a Parkour workshop this summer. Yeah, he is into ninja moves! My princess, of course, I want her to explore the things I hadn’t when I was a child. I want her to try singing, ballet, art class, baking, and everything a princess supposed to do.

Marius and I will just be watching them as they enjoy their summer activities. I came across a lot of Summer Workshops And Classes For Kids, but I have my top five in each category in which I keep a list to share with you. In random order, I made this list so I can quickly check where am I going to enroll each one of them.

Modern Baby Products For Baby Marius

Everything feels like it’s the first with Baby Marius. Sofi is already 7 when we have Marius so it feels like I am starting over again! Specially when it comes to baby products. I am sooo out of the loop! Good thing, I was introduced to Born Philippines. It’s an online shop that offers modern baby products.

When it says modern baby products, what comes into your mind? Modern means state of the art or up to date, kinda something like new or a trendsetter. For me, modern baby products means functional and is designed to be used by moms who wants to make the most out of their time.

From the products that was given to Baby Marius, my top 3 favorites are the following:

Wabitoys because it’s amazing. Watch the video above to see how it expands to a toy when soaked in water. I adore this toy because it’s small and can be easily stored when the kids are done with it. I am not a fan of big stuff toys because it accumulates dust, Wabitoys are just perfect. Wabitoys is available in 5 cool designs

Baby Cubes is just perfect for storing Marius food. He loves cauliflower so when we cook mixed veggies, I always make sure there’s some left for him. He also loves squash and sweet potato. I love that the cubes are small and comes with a tray and it is microwave safe.

The Ooga Silicone Mealtime Set is Marius’ favorite! He loves the spoon most specially. You can see naman why di ba? If Marius loves it, mommy loves it too!

Aside from the products on our video, Born Philippines also offers the following:

Designer Diaper bag and changing pads
Feeding Bottles (very hungry feeding bottles and not so hungry feeding bottles)
Baby Neck Pillow
Baby Bottle Holder and Pacifier holder
Silicone Mats, silicone bowl, and silicone spoons

12 Reasons Why We Love Belo Baby + Belo Baby Giveaway

Belo Baby just turned ONE YEAR OLD! That is a huge milestone. We have been using Belo Baby since day 1 of its launching (Read: Belo Baby Launching with Mommy Bloggers) so I am celebrating too as it turns one year old. And you all know Baby Marius celebrated his first birthday last February. It feels like Belo Baby grew up with my Baby Marius.

Twelve months of using Belo Baby and I have nothing but praises for their products. I specially love the hair&body wash and face&body lotion. And celebration of Belo Baby’s first 12 months on the market, let me tell you 12 reasons why we super duper love this brand!

12 Reasons Why We Love Belo Baby (12 because #BeloBabyTurnsOne)

1. Belo Baby is dermatology tested which makes it very safe to use of babies. I started using it when Marius was just 6 weeks old. He is now and still using, and I can see no wrong on his skin. In fact, out of all my kids (at that age) his skin’s the best.

Marius using Belo Baby when he was just less than 2 months old.

Marius using Belo Baby now that he is one year old.

2. Belo Baby is hypo allergenic which means it is less likely to cause an allergic reaction, which again, makes it very safe to use for babies.

3. Belo Baby is tear-free. It is very gentle and less likely to cause eye irritation on the baby. I knew that because I have been using it for a year now and Marius never complained!

4. Belo Baby is made of 100% certified natural ingredients and 0% harmful chemicals.

5. Belo Baby is relatively cheap considering that the ingredients are all natural. Belo Baby Wash is only 220 Pesos while the lotion is only 225 pesos and soap is just 79.75.

6. Belo Baby is widely available. I do my grocery in 5 different supermarkets and I can always find Belo Baby in those supermarkets.

7. The packaging is really nice and doesn’t look cheap. The packaging is a good test if much care has been put in developing the product. Sa packaging pa lang, alam mo na that Belo Baby is crafted with care for the most delicate skin, for the most meticulous moms.

8. Belo Baby is great as gifts. And because the packaging is nice, it is great for gifts. In some cases, it comes in bundle in a carefully curated box, you don’t even have to gift wrap it!

9. Belo Baby smell is really good. I super duper love the smell specially the lotion. It’s not to strong but just right. I love putting lotion to Baby Marius and smells him all day (or almost). He usually takes a bath around 10 AM and he still smells good at 5 PM.

10. Belo Baby is non drying. Dryness is in my genes. Most of my kids have dry skin and it is only now that I realized the importance of choosing the right baby product to prevent it. His skin is fine and softer when applied with Belo Baby Lotion.

11. Belo Baby endorser is super duper OMG cute! Scarlet Snow is so adorable, she makes me want to have another baby girl (opps! haha). Seriously, she is the perfect endorser for their products. And stalking Belo Baby Instagram is super worth it. Check them out @BeloBabyLove
